Sometimes you want to create a quick macro to do some text manipulation but are unlikely to want to use it again. In this instance, assigning a key shortcut is overkill. It would be better if there was a button on the editor toolbar to execute the last recorded macro. Also, merge the two macro start/stop buttons into one. Also, add a macro submenu to the Edit menu.
Have some simple shortcuts like CTRL+SHIFT+R to start/stop recording the macro and CTRL+SHIFT+P to play the macro. No need to save the macro - just a temporary macro, unsaved.

Sorry, wrong duplicate, meant to be issue #69424. I'll re-do it.
